This Thursday will be the last hospital pick up at Rata House. This is because Public health (the Rata House residents) are moving office nearer to the city centre and will no longer be able to serve as a pick up in their new venue. Our Public Health contacts have been trying to find an alternative pick up location around the hospital but to date this doesn't seem likely at least for this year. So hospital customers wanting orders on the 12th or 19th December will need to choose to pick up from St Matthews or Te Tihi in Main St.on those two weeks.
Note that 19th December will be our last day for 2019.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
